Cloud Technological Capability (CTC) is a basic operant resource because it acts on the operand resource of cloud technology, and it is not comprised of other operant resources. We define it as the capacity of a firm to deploy cloud-based platforms that are available on-demand via the Internet to serve consumers via pooling of resources in a manner that is scalable and measurable. This capability is formative and encapsulates essential characteristics of cloud computing: on-demand, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. This capability reflects the quality of the cloud infrastructure for how stable, scalable, and extensible it is.
